Feasibility of Endoscopic Resection in Early Gastric Cancer with Lymphovascular Invasion
2019
Background
Lymphovascular invasion (LVI) is associated with the risk of lymph node metastasis (LNM) and poor survival in gastric cancer patients; however, it is unclear whether LVI is a non-curative criteria component in all patients. We evaluated the risk factors of LNM in LVI-positive early gastric cancer (EGC) patients and identified a subgroup with a negligible LNM risk to assess the feasibility of endoscopic resection in these patients.
